Hi Patchou (and the rest of you)
I don't have the time to read all the posts in this thread right now, so I might be repeating something already said. I totally admire your hard work on Msg+ and hope you'll find it interesting enough to keep the development up. This is a great plugin!

But I have a few comments about the sponsor program. I'm still running .35 but I just installed .36 on a friends computer. Before I realized it I had installed what looked like spyware on his computer that put in an extra toolbar, shortcuts on his desktop and so on. Needless to say, he got pretty pissed. It seemed very intrusive so I immediately uninstalled it again and installed .35 on his machine.

I really want to support you, but the sponsor thing is not the right way for me. In newer versions it needs to be very clear that this sponsor program is going to be installed, otherwise people will feel cheated. You are very open about your intentions in this forum, you just need to extend that openness to the homepage and the installation process so people have a clear choice. You wouldn't want Msg+ to have a spyware reputation.
Personally, I would rather just donate through Paypal (10$ so far) and not have the advertising.
